Murder Mystery Dinner
Join us for an evening of intrigue, dinner, and community at our Murder Mystery Dinner, hosted by Cheyenne Mountain VFW Post 3917 in support of veterans, service members, and their families. It's 1907 in Caddo County, Oklahoma, where everybody's in for a wild ride at the Snakeskin Saloon. There's moonshine, murder, and even a love story to keep you on the edge of your seat and part of the action. Enjoy a hot time at the Snakeskin and discover the old west at its best! Dress in costume and add to the fun! Ticket's available now at the canteen or can be purchased online.
Voice of Democracy Scholarship
The Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars premier scholarship program since 1947. 9th through 12th grade students compete for more than $2.1 million in college scholarships and awards by writing and recording a broadcast script on a patriotic theme.
The national first-place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. Other national scholarships range from $1,000-$21,000, and the first-place winner from Colorado wins a minimum scholarship of $1,000 and an all-expense-paid trip to participate in Founding Forward’s Spirit of America Youth Leadership experience at Valley Forge which is an inspiring four-day program where students experience mock congressional debates, participate in a free enterprise challenge, visit historical sites and engage in interactive educational activities. This immersive experience allows students to develop their critical thinking and leadership skills while understanding their responsibilities as citizens.
Who can enter? The competition is open to students in grades 9-12, who are enrolled in a public, private, parochial high school or a home study program in the United States, its territories and possessions; or in an overseas U.S. military/civilian dependent school. Foreign exchange students, students age 20 or over and previous Voice of Democracy first place state winners are ineligible.
What do students need to enter? Students submit a 3 to 5 minute recorded and written audio essay on a specific theme online through Scholar's App. Entries are due by midnight October 31st.
